Built-in Teleprompter

Open a content kit with a script

From Your Library, open any content kit that originated from a text or voice idea (video uploads don’t generate a fresh script, the source video already is one). On the kit detail page, switch to the Video Script tab in the inline content editor.

Tip: The teleprompter button also appears on the YouTube and TikTok script tabs whenever those have content.

Hit Record with Teleprompter

The button opens a full-screen recording modal. Your browser will ask for camera and microphone access, allow both. The script appears as an overlay; the camera fills the rest of the screen.

Pick your layout

Two layout modes:

• Camera-first (default): camera fills the screen, script floats in the top third near the lens. Best for short scripts and natural eye-line.
• Big script: script dominates the viewport at ~1.7× font, camera shrinks to a 120×180 corner thumbnail. Best for long YouTube scripts where readability matters more than eye-line.

Tune the speed and look

Settings row at the bottom:

• WPM slider: 80 to 220 words per minute. Drag mid-recording and the scroll adjusts live.
• Font size: S / M / L. Pair with the layout toggle for distance reading.
• Font family: Sans / Serif / Mono.
• Mirror: flips the camera horizontally if your front cam shows you reversed.
• Width: narrow the script box to reduce side-to-side eye sweep.
• Zoom: 1× to ~3×. Hardware zoom on supported cameras (most Android back cameras, some iOS); CSS preview-only fallback when not.
• 9:16 / 16:9: portrait or landscape framing.

Smart scrolling (optional)

Three scroll modes when your browser supports the Web Speech API (Chrome, Edge, Safari):

• Manual: constant WPM, you control the pace.
• Auto-pause: scroll pauses when you stop talking, resumes when you speak. Good for natural beats and reading slowly.
• VoiceTrack: script position follows what you actually say. Skip a sentence, paraphrase, or pause without losing your place.

Firefox doesn’t expose the Web Speech API, so those modes are hidden there.

Record + review

Hit the red record button to start. A 3-2-1 countdown gives you a beat. The script begins scrolling on its own. You can use the up/down arrows on the right edge to nudge by a couple of lines, or pause/resume mid-take.

When you stop, the review screen lets you preview the take, retake, download (with or without burned-in captions), or upload to Echo.

What happens after Upload to Echo

Recordings land in Your Library as a new clip on the same content kit you started from:

• Under 3 minutes: the recording becomes a single clip on your kit. Caption it and schedule it like any other clip.
• 3 minutes or more: the recording becomes a clip on your kit AND triggers a fresh content kit derived from it (clip-finder cuts + per-platform social posts written from your transcript).
• Clip-finder finds nothing useful: we redeliver the full recording as a single clip rather than ship an empty kit.
